A Terrible Surgical Operation.
4 Fatal Mistake.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Press Of Februa-
~ 2Sd, 1883, published an account Of q
fatal surgical operation which caused q
grest connection among medical men
throughout the whole country, Dr..
Thayer, the most eminent surgeon il
Cleveland, pronouncing it scandalous.
Itappears t1at Mrs. King had been suf
feriDg for many year from some disease
of the stomach, which had resisted the
treatment OF all the physicians in attend
ance. The disease commenced with q
slight arrangement of the digestion, with
poor appetite, followed by peculiar
i1descri5able distress in the stomach, a
feeling that mas been described as faint
sail gone" sensation, a sickIy slime COL
Letting about the teeth, causing a disa-
greable taste. This sensation was not
removed by food, out, On the contrary, it
was increased. After e while the hands
and feet became cold and sticky-a cold
penpiration. There was 4 constant tired
and languid feeling. Then followed
dreadful nervousness, with gloomy fore
bodiugs, Finally the patient was unable
to retain any food whatever, and there
was constant pain ne abdomen. All
prescribed remedies failing to give relief,
a consultation was held, when It vas de-
cided that the patient had can ,er in the
stomach, and in orde- to save the pa
TENTS lie an operation was justihsbIe.
Accordingly, on the 22d Of February, 1888,
the operation was performed by d..

A POLICE FUND.
Something Which 1t Would Be Well to
Have.

Under the arrangement that has existed
ever since Cheyenne had a municipal
government, policemen, and all other city
officers for that matter, receive their
salaries in city warrants. Very often
these warrants cannot be converted into
cash, and even if they can be made avail
able 1t is only at a sacrifice at from 2 to 6
per cent, something which the policemen
especially can i'll afford. for they earn all
they get, and more too, even though they
we're to receive their pay in cash. This is
something which in justice to faithful and
vigllant officers ought to be remedied. In
past times the city council has so provided
that cash could be kept on hand for the
payment of men who have been employed
on the streets and alleys, and they have
been paid off every Saturday night. 1t is
not necessary to explain here just how this
matter was arranged, suffice it 70 say that
it was done legally.
Now, what is there to prevent the set
ting apart a portion of the city's money
as a police fund which can be paid out TO
the policemen in cash for their salaries
instead of city warrants which they, if the
money is obtained at all, have to dispose

Death of =. r.. Richey.

5. K. Richey, signal officer in charge OF
the Office in this city, died yesterday
morning at 5:45 o'clock after an illness Of
about three weeks, his disease being cry
sipelas.
Officer Richey came to Cheyenne sew.
eral months ago and took charge of the
signal office, being at that time apparently
In the best of health, but after a few
months his health began to fail, and dur
ing the entire winter he has been unwell
and at times scarcely able to discharge the
duties OF his responsible position. DR..
Gray attended Mr.. Richey during his i'll.
ness, and for several days before and up
to the time of his death he was carefully
nursed by Mr.. II. j. Ashley. that gentle
man giving all the attention it was posi-
BILE to bestow.
MIR. Richey was about "a years of age,
and came originally from Muncie, Ind,
where he has three brothers and other
relatives. The military authorities at Fort
Russell took charge of the remains yester-
day afternoon. and a detail will be sent
down from the fort this morning and he
will be buried in the military cemetery a
Fort Russell.
Officer Richey was recognized here and
at Washington as being one of the best
posted and most efficient officers in the
entire signal service. He was in the
service three years, and held the rank of
corporal.

The question is frequently asked, "At
what time of day do the passenger trains
on the Cheyenne & Northern come and
go?' In answer to this question it may
be stated here as a matter of Importance
to the public that the train for the North
leaves this city at 7 o'clock in the morn
ing, and returns to Cheyenne at 1870 in
the evening. There are now three tele-
graph stations on the line of the road out
side of Cheyenne, to-wit: at Horse creek,
Iron Mountain and Chug.

They Misa

The local editor of The LEAD Err has
learned that certain people assert that he
was the only person dissatisfied at the re-
suit of the late declamatory contest.
People who make such assertions have as
yet something to learn possibly in many
ways At all events, they are either ex-
tremely dull of comprehension and entire
ly misapprehend the situation, or pur-
posely and sadly misconstrue the fact and
make statements in keeping with their
misapprehensions.
